Summary
Michael Nielson is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in Drupal and PHP with 10+ years building and maintaining enterprise web applications and multisite platforms. He has led engineering squads and architected Drupal 9 apps on OpenShift at Red Hat, built search and integrations (Solr, Salesforce, Akamai) in medical and fintech domains, and now drives product web properties in FinTech. Comfortable across the full stack—Symfony, MySQL, JS, CSS—and fluent in automated testing and CI practices, he pairs pragmatic engineering with developer training and process improvements. Starting Drupal work in 2007 and contributing to the community through code reviews and conference sessions, he combines long-term platform expertise with a knack for translating complex requirements into user-focused solutions. An early background in computational physics and bioinformatics tools gives him a data-minded approach to problem solving that surfaces in API integrations and test automation.
